The
Administrative Order of Bahá'u'lláh is in the process of growth and unfoldment.
In its structure and functioning there are aspects which, the Guardian
explained, should be uniform throughout the world. There are also secondary
aspects which can be varied from country to country as decided by the
responsible National Spiritual Assembly in accordance with the needs and conditions
in the area under its jurisdiction. The aspects which must be uniform are set
out in the Constitution of the Universal House of Justice and the Constitutions
of the National and Local Spiritual Assemblies.
As the Bahá'í
communities grow, the Universal House of Justice will ensure that this
divinely-founded system will unfold in accordance with the unerring guidance of
which it is the recipient.

on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer)
